Is there any way to extract IMAP data with LotusScript?

When Notes access an external mail file through IMAP is creates a virtual Notes document that can't be replicated and its data can't be assessed in the normal way using Lotusscript.

Is there any way to convert an IMAP document into a normal document, or to be able to extract the key data and attachments from the IMAP document, so it can be used in a Notes Application?
